What is a Quest Lamp?

The Quest Lamp is a unique item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that players can earn as a reward for completing various quests. It is a mystical lamp that grants players experience in a skill of their choice, making it a valuable asset for leveling up. Unlike many other items in the game, the Quest Lamp provides a direct benefit to players by allowing them to allocate experience to skills they wish to improve, thus aiding in their journey through Gielinor.

How to Obtain a Quest Lamp

Players can receive Quest Lamps as rewards for completing specific quests throughout the game. Here’s a list of quests that award a Quest Lamp:

Curse of the Empty Lord – 1 lamp
Animal Magnetism – 1 lamp
Hunt for Red Raktuber – 1 lamp
Wanted! – 1 lamp

Additionally, some quests may offer multiple lamps as rewards, giving players a fantastic opportunity to boost their skills significantly.

Uses of the Quest Lamp

The primary function of a Quest Lamp is to grant experience points in any skill of the player’s choosing. When a player uses a Quest Lamp, they are presented with a menu that allows them to select the skill they want to boost. This flexibility makes it a strategic item, as players can focus on skills they may find challenging or those that require extra experience.

Examples of skills where the Quest Lamp can be used effectively include:

Herblore – Ideal for those looking to create potions faster.
Hunter – Helpful for catching elusive creatures.
Agility – Great for increasing overall movement speed.
Crafting – Perfect for leveling up to make better items.

Experience Gains from Quest Lamp

The amount of experience gained from using a Quest Lamp varies based on the player’s overall level in that skill. Here’s a breakdown:

Skill Level	Experience Gained
1-30	1,000 XP
31-60	2,500 XP
61-99	5,000 XP

This scaling experience system allows players to maximize their use of Quest Lamps based on their current skill level, making it a valuable tool for both new and experienced players alike.

Strategic Use of Quest Lamps

Players often strategize the use of Quest Lamps to align with their goals. Here are some tips for effective utilization:

Plan Ahead: Before using a Quest Lamp, check which skills will be most beneficial for your current goals.
Combine with Other Training Methods: Use Quest Lamps in conjunction with training methods to reach milestones faster.
Save for High Requirements: Consider saving your Quest Lamps for skills that have high experience requirements, such as Herblore or Agility, which can be daunting to train otherwise.

Quest Lamp vs. Other Experience-Granting Items

While Quest Lamps provide a unique experience-boosting mechanism, several other items in OSRS also grant experience, such as:

Bonus XP Lamps: These are often received during special events and provide fixed experience amounts.
Experience Scrolls: These items grant experience in a specific skill and often come from tasks or achievements.
Event Rewards: Certain seasonal events give out rewards that can grant experience across various skills.

While all these items help in leveling up, the flexibility of the Quest Lamp in allowing players to choose the skill they want to enhance makes it particularly valuable.
